Default Pardon The Slowness Today...

Between some server issues this morning and the fact that two of the editors (myself, admittedly, one of them) have been swamped with deadlines, the front page is a little slower than usual today. We're still here though, so no worries, we haven't been kidnapped by aliens. Yet. We should be back up to speed by tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!

Good to know. Yeah, I was shocked to see all the Thoughts' sites down this morning. It was like not having power...I was bored and felt like surfing, so I loaded PPCT, only to remember it was down...then 5 minutes later, DMT...drats, same thing. Oh and SPT? Bah it was a long morning without them.

Oh, and no one needs to comment that I should have been doing something more productive...or that I should be doing something more productive now. :P

Speak for yourself Janak... those aliens were pretty friendly though, and as a plus, now I have a pretty awesome green glow...

It's cruch time in University life, so that explains Janak, Darius, & Myself when we appear swamped! We're just happy to have free time to sleep

I just slept at 3AM and woke up at 8AM. Although I now feel like a cold turkey, I can happily say I got a fair share of work done yesterday.

On a side note, I'll be up to speed by next week.

Having the site down was bad enough, but for the last couple of days I've had a worse problem; I can no longer read the forums at work!

We have Symantic software to prevent access to "inappropriate" sites, and they've apparently made some changes to it. In the past, it's just blocked individual items on a page, but now, although I can get to the PPCT forum topics page, I can't look at individual threads. I just get --

Access Denied

The requested document,
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...amp;highlight=,
will not be shown.

Reason: Found in Denied List (SexEd/Advanced). Entry causing block is
pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php.


I can get to forums on some other sites I've tried, but it's also apparently found something it didn't like at Powells.com. I can look at book descriptions of hardcover books, not not ebooks. :roll:

That's weird. Steve & co. aggressively moderate, on top of things...

I was writing a thesis proposal, which is now done. Now, I have to dig out of my piles of email...
